Hi Ed, the guitar arrived well and survived a horrible winter storm during its transit. My compliments on how carefully well it was packed! I took it out of the case late last night… once it was all quiet and played some granaina falsetas with it I enjoyed clarity in the trebles, which brings out definition to the strings and has a balance to the sound. It’s basses are strong, yet not overpowering. Being an negra, its voicing is such that it projects easily and strongly and provides a colorful tonal character. Simply one of the best Conde guitars I have ever played. The action setting is perfect! Overall, an awesome flamenco negra guitar! I am very happy with it! Thanks a bunch! Rafael Calderon CA
